TIIE WORKS OF TILE LORD ARE GREAT, SOUGHT OUT OF ALL THEM THAT HAVE PLEASURE THEREIN.

FULL OF COMPASSION.-PSALM CXI. 2-4.

JUST, WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE PURE, WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE LOVELY; WHATSOEVER THINGS
ARE OF GOOD REPORT; IF THERE BE ANY YIRTUE, AND IF TIERE BE ANY PRAISE, THINK
ON THESE THINGS.-PIILIPPIANS IV. 8.
